However...
Back in January I finally was able to make the trip and spent four days and nights in LA. I saw some friends, dined in Hollywood at Osteria Mozza after having had drinks at Musso and Frank with an Industry friend of mine, saw Chris Carter of The X Files and met an actress who gets killed on it's latest incarnation. I planned on taking the Manson Tour but it wasn't available, so I had to see what I could on my own.
I drove up and down Cielo Drive and took pictures from Falcon's Lair, drove up and down Mulholland Drive, went to Brentwood and accidentally found myself on Bundy, but also went to Los Feliz to see the LaBianca's house on Waverly.
I noticed that the property right next to it on the left as you look at it was a Convent. I studied it because it went a long way towards my understanding that the LaBianca's house could indeed be considered somewhat isolated because the Convent's grounds are vast and there's no house on that side anywhere near where the LaBianca's house is. I thought I would eventually research the Convent, see how long it has existed and all, but didn't get around to it.
Then I saw this Katy Perry thing on the TV news and it seemed so familiar as they described this property, and yes indeed it is one and the same.

And it's pretty damn amazing about Jane Doe 59 too.
